Orange
Orange’s intertwining spirals were spray-painted on a sheet of paper. These movable graffiti motifs are mixed with drips that seem to want to escape the frame of the page. In the centre, the letter "C" can be made out, embedded in an infinite arborescence. The work comes out of the urban art scene, whose conventions the artist uses, in the manner of a plant proliferating in the interstices of a wall and pushing back its limits. The spontaneity and dynamism of the emancipatory gesture carry a certain sense of freedom to which Anne-Lise Coste underlines. These patterns reveal the broader, all-encompassing structures of the institutional system that she challenges and invites us to reflect on as individuals.
